Oh dear.... lets hope it is not true, but sadly there are some real plonkers and inconsiderate travellers out there now..... Rich idiots making fart jokes whilst on pampered overland trips appearing on tv hasn't been great for 'inspiring' other idiots they can do it also imho....
As somebody who runs a lodge in Ghana told me 'the level of overlanders has been declining over the last 10 years, a lot of idiots who splash the cash at a over landing company and set off with the latest of everything, but no clue or consideration for others who they interact with, they just want the photos for Facebook....'
Maybe if a lot of us write to the manager saying how valuable it was for us to stay and apologise for these (unproven as of yet) plonkers it might force a change.....??
I have been staying at the Sheraton in Djibouti recently which was a godsend, but you need to meet the Swiss manager first to get his permission.... maybe not a bad idea for Abuja also.....?
I do dispair at times........ {big sigh}....
